This book will empower you to get your feet functioning as they should
do, without any medical intervention. Includes a 4-week plan of
quick-and-easy exercises to get your feet back into shape, plus
solutions for specific foot issues, from plantar fasciitis to fallen
arches.
This is a uniquely helpful and accessible guide to taking control of
your own foot health by holistic heath innovator Yamuna Zake. We don't
need doctors, orthotics or even surgery to relieve common foot problems,
such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, neuromas, arthritis, hammertoes, and
flat feet. By learning a correct gait that uses the entire foot to
distribute weight, we can relieve and prevent common foot problems
without any medical intervention.
The book offers an easy-to-follow 4-week program of routines that take
just 15 minutes a day during the program and allows readers to fix their
feet and take ownership of their body. Each of the four weeks focuses on
a different part of the foot: the heel, the arch, the ball and the toes.
There are 3-4 exercises in each section and readers try them all and can
choose to focus on those exercises in each section that they enjoy most.
This programme is then supported with mindful foot practices to ensure
bad habits don't return. Six common foot problems are also explored,
including their causes (specific incorrect walking patterns) and ways of
preventing and relieving them (exercises plus mindful practices). You
won't find any medical concepts or terminology in this book, nor do you
need to learn complicated foot anatomy. The whole program is based on
what you already know: walking. You'll learn how to walk and stand
correctly and to use every part of your feet as nature intended. That's
all you need to do!
